The non-ferrous division of MFL group (Frigeco)
organised a technical conference in Mexico, with the
main target to explain the latest technologies and
products that Frigeco offers to the wire industry.
The topics discussed were focused on technical
aspects related to the full range of drawing machines,
stranding machines and cable insulating lines.
The event was celebrated over two days in two
different locations (México DF, Monterrey) receiving a

about the technical and technological cooperation
that Frigeco can provide as a reliable supplier.
